Yeah it has to be next year James....No idea on funds, looking at alot of the bands the get for HRH i don't think their will be lots of exclusive's i think you might have some mid-range bands incorporate the festival within an established tour. I'd presume this would cut costs as they ain't having to fly the bands in ect....
I'd take a guess at Y&T as they tour regularly in the autumn every year....
the Haven park idea does reduce hotel costs for those who need overnight accomadation....but like you James i'd rather not! hahaha...Not out of snobbery but living in the midlands means i've got a hell of a journey to reach these places! Wolvo to Pwhelli is almost 5 hours by train! I can get to Belfast in 40 minutes!
